Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

In order to ensure that Ruri Uzuki can keep up with the team and not fall behind, and in order for the clan to escape the fate of being an ordinary small ninja clan like Utatane and Mitomon in the future, they will do their best and risk their resources to support Ruri Uzuki.

His Konoha-style swordsmanship has already reached a considerable level, and he has also mastered several water-style and lightning-style ninjutsu with good power and practicality. Judging from the current situation, he has indeed caught up with the team and is no longer a burden. He can also provide considerable assistance in battle.

At least in this sparring match, without Ruri Uzuki to restrain him, Enjun Sarutobi was definitely no match for Gen Uchiha.

At the edge of the training field, Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Gen's dragon-like figure with his snake-like eyes, completely baffled.

Something's not right. Just having the Sharingan shouldn't be enough to cause such a big improvement.

Oh no, could it be that Jiraiya's teaching ability is really that strong? In less than a day, with just a little guidance, he has made such a big improvement?

Was Jiraiya truly a genius in the field of teaching?

Orochimaru slowly shook his head, overturning this conclusion.

Jiraiya may indeed be a teaching genius, but it's also unlikely that Jiraiya was a teaching genius.

Orochimaru believed that few people in the world knew this teammate better than himself.

If he were to teach, he might be able to teach very well, and he would certainly be extremely meticulous. Given enough time, he could maintain a ninja's minimum standard and slowly unearth the full potential of those genius ninjas. However, it would be unlikely that he could mentor a ninja in a short period of time and enable him to improve rapidly.

Especially since that ninja was my student, Orochimaru, and all the parts that needed to be shown have already been shown.

So that's how it is...

"The Uchiha clan's foundation is indeed unfathomable."

Orochimaru turned his gaze to the ancient-looking ninja sword in Uchiha Gen's hand.

This sword is something Uchiha Gen couldn't afford with his mission earnings.

No, even Orochimaru himself would have to put in a lot of effort to get such a fine, antique ninja sword.

This sword could only have been given by a high-ranking member of the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru, as well as the Third Hokage who had some interest in Gen Uchiha, knew that he was very close to the First Elder, Gen Uchiha.

Since this person had been saved by Tobirama Senju in the past and had always acted like a dove, and Gen Uchiha's state of mind had not deviated from their expectations, they did not interfere too much.

After all, they also need Uchiha Gen to occupy a certain position within their clan in the future, so as to influence the Uchiha and reconcile conflicts.

This skillful Uchiha-style swordsmanship and the ninja sword demonstrate the effort the Uchiha clan put into training the Genji.

Therefore, it is highly likely that his strength improved rapidly after he awakened the Sharingan, which is also related to the Uchiha clan.

Only this explanation can account for Uchiha Gen's recent rapid progress, which allowed him to leave his two teammates far behind.

Just as Orochimaru was watching how Uchiha Gen dealt with the attack from his two teammates, a masked figure dressed in black appeared instantly beside Orochimaru.

"There is a top-secret temporary mission that the Third Hokage gave to Orochimaru's team."

The ANBU ninja swiftly handed the mission scroll to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed when he saw the coded markings on the scroll.

Top secret, high-level temporary mission...

Apart from Orochimaru, the other three members of this team, including Gen Uchiha, are far from meeting the standards for carrying out this kind of mission. Why would they send the mission here so urgently?

Orochimaru unrolled the scroll, read the contents, and then asked the ANBU ninja:

"When?"

"Half an hour later, at the Senju ancestral home."

"Go back and report. We'll be there soon."

Orochimaru put the mission scroll into his sleeve.

The task was actually quite simple: guard the gate.

The sealing and transfer ceremony of the Nine-Tails is about to take place.

Soon, Orochimaru stopped the three sparring in the training ground.

"Orochimaru-sensei, what happened?"

Seeing his two teammates struggling to breathe, Gen Uchiha asked Orochimaru a question.

"The Third Hokage has ordered a top-secret, temporary mission, classified as Rank A. Let's go. Since it's only Rank A, we'll probably just be gatekeepers."

Orochimaru waved his hand and said.

This mission is virtually foolproof and there will be no unexpected events, because any unexpected event would have a huge negative impact on the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

For every ninja village, the handover of the Jinchuriki is of paramount importance, second only to the succession of the Kage.

For this reason, this mission was extremely important and its level of secrecy was extremely high, reaching the level of top secret. Apart from the Third Hokage and a few high-ranking officials who made the decision, no one knew the timing and specific details of the mission.

Even Orochimaru, who was being groomed as a potential future Hokage contender for the next generation of Konoha's core members, was not entitled to know in advance. He was only notified half an hour before the start and had to rush to the Senju ancestral home.

"Rank A Mission!"

Sarutobi Enjun's eyes lit up immediately.

Are we finally about to embark on a high-level mission?

"A last-minute A-rank mission? Orochimaru-sensei, our team's average skill level probably doesn't meet the standards for executing a mission of this rank. So, what is this mission...?"

Uchiha Gen hesitated as he looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded:

"It's rather special because the mission location is the Senju family mansion. As guards, we are given a temporary mission to ensure the successful completion of the Tailed Beast transfer ritual. This is also because I am the Third Hokage's disciple, and you are my students. You are all trustworthy members in the Third Hokage's eyes."

A look of realization dawned on Sarutobi Enjun's face.

He was, after all, the son of the Third Hokage, so he knew a little about some things.

Meanwhile, Ruri Uzuki looked completely bewildered.

As a member of a small clan of ninjas, with only one or two Jonin holding the fort, Ruri Uzuki knew very little about the Tailed Beasts.

Seeing Ruri Uzuki's expression, Orochimaru immediately explained:

"The Tailed Beasts are extremely important strategic weapons for every ninja village. They are sealed within the bodies of each generation of Jinchuriki. The Tailed Beast belonging to our Konoha is the most powerful Nine-Tails, but its power is also the most difficult to control. It is currently sealed within the body of the first Jinchuriki, Lady Mito. She is Tsunade's grandmother and the wife of the First Hokage. Now, as her lifespan is nearing its end, her body can no longer withstand the erosion of the Tailed Beast's power, so it needs to be transferred."

Therefore, today is both the sealing and transfer ceremony of the Nine-Tails and the last day of Lady Mito's life.
